AIF is a science-fiction based role-playing game. We created it with the intention of having as few restrictions as possible, so that we could develop interactive stories and scenes as rich as our imaginations. The background shows the influences of Star Wars and Star Trek that helped spawn this creation. Also woven in are many of the masters of science-fiction like Asimov, Heinlein, and Niven, as well as countless others.

Imagine 3000 years into the future.

Technology has expanded such that no corner of reality is unexplorable, or unexploitable. Societies range from the truly utopian, to horrible despots that wage war on an inconcievable level. Beings both benevolent and malevolent populate space ecompassing more than three galaxies. It is a setting where science is beginning to pry into the deepest recesses of time, space, and existence...

...and adventure is the best reason for living.
